Yes, but risks to whom? The risk to a person doing his first tandem jump with a highly experienced tandem master is not the same as the risk to a freeflyer on a 76 Velocity. The incidents forum contains maybe 5 posts that are relevant to the person doing their first tandem. The lessons from those incidents are mainly that shit happens and make sure you do your tandem at a good dropzone and listen to your tandem master. How would it benefit a 40 year old man who is doing just this one tandem in his life to know that he should be careful when flying a VX? Of course, the people that are serious about skydiving and this webpage will probably register anyway. It's not a very big burden. After all, one of the most important lessons of a student is, in my humble opinion, how to learn on their own. I'm all for education and a healthy dose of scaring students, but I think that bombarding the aforementioned 40 year old man with carnage stories is not a good idea either. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

These people might be considering doing a tandem and looking at information. Imagine their reaction if they stumble into the Incidents forum. Of course, of all those incidents maybe 5 are actually relevant to a person considering doing just one jump, but the person doesn't understand it. All he sees is incidents. We're not lying to them, but it's in the best interest of everyone not to scare the tourists. -- Toggle Whippin' Yahoo Skydiving is easy.

I'm one of those floppers. I'm learning to sit, and according to all the explanations I'm probably backtracking like no tomorrow. Plus, an excellent coach (David Brown) jumped with me on Saturday and said that my fallrate goes from 140mph to 110mph on a dime as I'm doing cartwheels and what not, all unintentionally. I believe him. However, I can't see anything that I can do about it. I have no control over my sit whatsoever yet, and I can't turn perpendicular to the flightline. I have enough awareness to find the direction I need to be pointed, I just can't face that direction.
